Article Title: Effects of simulated Martian environmental stressors on specific human pathogen–immune system interactions
doi: 10.1128/mbio.01099-25
Figure Lengend Snippet: Effector functions of PBMCs against bacteria exposed to Mars-like conditions. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by PBMCs stimulated with K. pneumoniae ( A ) or S. marcescens ( B ). Percentage of CD11b+ cells positive for DTAF (FITC)-labeled bacteria ( C and E ) and representative histograms ( D and F ) for K. pneumoniae and S. marcescens . n = 6–9 biological replicates from two to three independent experiments, * P ≤ 0.05, ** P ≤ 0.01, **** P ≤ 0.0001 Friedman test followed by Dunn’s multiple comparison test. AUC, area under curve as a ratio of ROS production over time; M9, minimal media; Unst, unstimulated; UV, ultraviolet.
Article Snippet: The bacterial species K. pneumoniae 298-53 (DSM 30104) and S. marcescens BS303 (DSM 30121) were purchased from Leibniz Institute DSMZ-German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures GmbH.
